A Thoughtful Gift, that tells me someone both knows and appreciates me.
The Twinkle of Lights, inviting, comforting, and special without being too fancy.
Togetherness, with loved ones, in spirit if not in person.

The Patterns
A Thoughtful Gift: A plain stockinette pattern with a band of eyelets running around the middle, through which a satin ribbon is threaded and tied in a bow.
The Twinkle of Lights: A mostly stockinette pattern, with beading applied all over.
Togetherness: Stockinette sections at the top and bottom flank the cable, which travels around the circumference of the bauble at the centre. Note: the cable section must be worked flat, and is fully explained in the pattern.
